"15 Vital Minutes!"

 

2013 will likely have 525,600 minutes. 

That's 1,440 minutes per day.  

 

You will read through the entire Bible if you spend 15 minutes each day in 2013!  

 

 3000 years of recorded wisdom, God's words for you in just 15 minutes a day! 

 

New insights, inspiration, wisdom and understanding in just 15 minutes a day!

 

Some suggestions:  

 

Use a one-year Bible that has Old and New Testament readings each day.

 

Use an audio Bible if that would be helpful. 

 

Find a quiet and consistent place and time each day for your 15 minutes of reading.

 

Pray each time you start that God will reveal exactly what you need.

 

 Read with someone else . Or have an accountability partner or chart to record your consistency.  

  

"The teaching of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. "

(Psalm 19:7)
Covenant Sunday 2013  

This first Sunday of each year is Covenant Sunday at Grace Community Church.  First and foremost, this is an opportunity to remember our covenant with God and our salvation in Jesus Christ.

For some, it may be an opportunity to commit to Jesus Christ for the very first time--what a great way to start the year! 

 
It is also a time to review and renew our commitment to Christ through the local Church, to prayerfully consider our relationship in community.  Everyone is welcome to Grace Community Church, and one of our opportunities is to hold and have membership, accountability and responsibility in this community of faith.  
 
We encourage every member of the congregation during the month of December to prepare for the Covenant Service by go to our website, reading the documents relating to the Covenant and Covenant Service and to prayerfully prepare for this important event in our Christian and Church life.  You can access this information by clicking on Covenant Documents and also see much of the Service by clicking on January 2013 Covenant Service.  This will be time well invested!

"2012 Paid in Full" Goal 

Praise God there has been wonderful response and commitment for bringing the Church finances up-to-date as we get ready to close the books on 2012!   We have faith that we will reach the goal of having all of our bills and ministry budgets paid in full for 2012! The end is in sight!  God will bless such sacrifice and faithfulness!  Thank you!!

"Mission 2013" Offering Pledge  

During 2012 at Grace Community Church we began a weekly offering plan that supports our local and global missions.  Praise God, in 2012 there been a very positive response to this and it has made a great difference in the fulfillment of our mission! 

 

The plan is quite simple: GCCN can fulfill all the ministry God has for us in 2013 if every member of the congregation is tithing on their income and we are also able to have 25 people who would give $2.00 per day in offerings. From this $2.00 per day, one-quarter of it goes to global missions and three-quarters of it goes to youth and children's ministry.  The $2.00 per day offering is called "Mission 2013" offering.   As we draw to the end of 2012, please be in prayer about what God would have you do regarding this $2.00/day pledge.
